Klassische Philharmonie Bonn, Deniola Kuraja
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
The Klassische Philharmonie Bonn presents highlights of Viennese classical music in this concert. Joseph Haydn is regarded as one of the creators of the classical symphony, whose works were a model for generations of composers. His Symphony No. 92, composed in 1789, is a wonderful example of how Haydn was already known and appreciated throughout Europe at the time: originally a commissioned work for the Parisian concert series of the »Loge Olympique«, the symphony was given its nickname »Oxford« because it was performed in Oxford in 1791 when Haydn was awarded an honorary doctorate there.
